Mind Your Speech: Examining the Impact of Leader Mindfulness in Communication on Follower Error Reporting and Hiding in Organizations
Bibliographic record
Abstract
<p>Although researchers have demonstrated an increasing interest in the interpersonal antecedents of error reporting in employees, little is known about how interpersonal-level factors influence employee error hiding. Using a three-wave time-lagged survey design (N = 186), the present study investigates whether leader mindfulness in communication, a communication style exhibited by mindful leaders, predicts follower error hiding and reporting through two distinct mediators-- fear of punishment and relatedness, respectively. Findings reveal that leader mindfulness in communication negatively predicts follower error hiding, mediated by fear of punishment, and positively predicts follower error reporting through the organization's error management culture rather than via feelings of relatedness. It was further discovered that relatedness predicts error reporting, but not hiding. Similarly, fear of punishment predicts error hiding, but not reporting. This paper contributes to our understanding of the interpersonal antecedents and distinct motives behind error reporting and hiding while advancing research on mindfulness at work.</p>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
